"Aurel, when did you return?" The prince shrugs, taking his time to sip his tea.
"Hours ago brother" the king was displeased with his answer.
"Then why are you here?"
"I came to check up on my dear sister when I simply got distracted by this beauty" the prince winks at Elara.
"That beauty is your king's consort." Elara rolls her eyes. Oh so now she's awknowledge since she has his brother's attention.
"Nevertheless, come and join us brother. Your consort made us a very delicious cake truffles right here" he points to the empty plate.
"Oops, I forgot we finished it" the king grounds his jaw before stepping in and standing behind Elara.
She could still feel his warmth steeping into her back but she stayed put without a single reaction or even awknowledgement.
"Leave us, I'd like to discuss important matters with my family" the king orders.
Prince Aurel smiles. "Then you can surely discuss it with the consort"
"I said family, not eavesdroppers"
